Help me spend $2170

[guitarzan2]

OK, here's the deal. I had some guitars stolen and thru the miracle of replacement value insurance, I have to spend $2170 on a guitar. The insurance company gave me $542 for the guitar that was stolen but allocated $1999 plus tax or $2170 to buy a replacement. They gave me $542 up front and will pay up to another $1628 if I go buy a replacement. As you can see, it would be stupid of me not to go spend the whole thing.

Brands: Jackson, Charvel, Dean, Ibanez or Gibson.

Requirements:

1. New or Used doesn't matter.

2. I don't want to throw money away on a guitar that is worth $700 the day it gets sold....... ie. any new Charvel.

3. The guitar must hold it's value or appreciate, be a good investment.

4. No twangy Fender or single-coil crap, this guitar must rock, play metal, preferrably have a Floyd but not required.

OK guys, let's here it. What should I buy ? Right now I got my eyes on a USA Dean-From-Hell but I dunno.

What, you want a copy of my insurance paperwork to prove it? Not a problem.

I think what he means, is that you're not gonna find any sympathy from us with your big problem.

Custom Shop and pay the remaining difference yourself.

Jackson Stars RR with whatever specs you desire

Buy something used on Fleabay or whatever. Almost any new guitar loses a big bunch of value the minute you take it home.

Buy a nice Les Paul Supreme. NICE !!!!

Who said it was a problem and who's looking for sympathy? Jesus Christ, was just looking for some advice. Thanks for the help(or lack thereof).

Nah, I don't need a $4000 guitar that's worth $2000 the day after buying it and $1000 a year later.

Ouch, I was worrying about that one. Been with the company for 15 years and never had a claim. Do you think they're going to kill me next year?

+1

Or you could pickup a nice PRS from a music shop, but haggle the hell out of them. PRS's hold good value I presume. I wouldn't recommend gibsons to anyone, but that's another option.

It's called a joke. Look it up in the dictionary. And then seek some help getting that stick removed from your ass.

(DISCLAIMER - THAT WAS ALSO A JOKE)
